Priest HUD

A priest HUD that follows your spec: health and mana bars, your Discipline, Holy or Shadow cooldowns and talent procs, Fortitude and Inner Fire reminders, and layouts you can share.

Priest HUD for a Discipline priest

Priest HUD follows your spec and shows only what that spec needs: your cooldowns, your talent procs with their timers and stacks, your buffs, and your mana. Move it, style it per spec, and share your layout with a code.

What each spec shows

  • Discipline: Power Word: Shield, Holy Fire on your target, Penance, Focused Casting, Inner Focus, Power Infusion.
  • Holy: Power Word: Shield, Holy Fire on your target, Prayer of Mending, Holy Purpose, Inner Focus, Blessed Recovery.
  • Shadow: Power Word: Shield, Mind Blast, Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague, Vampiric Embrace, Shadow Weaving stacks on your target, Shadowform (with a reminder when you're out of it), Spirit Tap.
  • Utility row (one tick in the menu): Psychic Scream, Fade, Fear Ward; Shadow adds Shadow Word: Death and Silence.
  • Every spec: health and mana bars with their percent, Power Word: Fortitude and Inner Fire (with a reminder when either is missing), mana potions.

Spells shared by specs keep the same spot in every spec. Your spec is read from your talent points, or set in the menu. Spells and talents appear as you learn them; your potions while you carry them.

How it tracks

  • Real buff and debuff timers, in combat too.
  • Cooldowns straight from the game: ready, active, cooling down.
  • Talent procs show their timers: Focused Casting, Holy Purpose, Blessed Recovery, Spirit Tap.
  • Your damage over time on the target, and Shadow Weaving's stacks.
  • Inner Fire shows its charges.
  • An icon turns blue while you lack the mana for it.

The Priest HUD menu

Edit mode

Click Edit or type /prhud edit, then tick the spec to edit. Each spec keeps its own layout.

  • Green box: drag it to move the HUD.
  • Blue boxes: drag the bars, an icon row or the warnings into another socket in the HUD, or drop them anywhere else to unsocket them.
  • Shift + drag an icon: move it along its row, to another row, or anywhere on screen. An unsocketed icon drags without Shift.
  • Drop an unsocketed part back on the HUD to socket it again. Click an icon to hide it.
  • Hide: tick it beside the bars, a row or the warnings to hide that part in this spec.
  • Show: under the bars' box, untick Health or Mana to hide that bar in this spec.
  • Add from other specs: tick another spec's spell to show it in this spec too, such as Shadow Word: Pain in Discipline or Power Infusion in Shadow.
  • Reset resets the spec you are editing; Reset all in the menu resets everything.
  • Also here: Show in (untick to hide the HUD in that spec), Snap grid, Copy to all specs, nametags and their size. Done returns to the menu.

Edit mode

Share: Export gives a code; Import applies that layout and keeps your own settings.

Looks

  • Radiant (default): Blizzard's art with a gold trim.
  • Plain: lightest on performance.
  • Smooth: polished bars and bevelled icons.

Commands

  • /prhud edit: edit mode.
  • /prhud spec auto|discipline|holy|shadow: which spec's display; auto follows your talent points.
  • /prhud utility on|off: the utility row in every spec.
  • /prhud test: lights every icon for 15 seconds.
  • /prhud showall: shows every icon of every spec, learned or not.
  • /prhud lock / unlock: drag the HUD.
  • /prhud health on|off: the health bar in every spec.
  • /prhud mirrors on|off: real in-combat auras, or timers from your casts.
  • /prhud idlefade on|off|auto: fades the HUD when you're idle. Auto (the default) turns it on when QuietHUD is on and uses QuietHUD's opacity and timing.
  • /prhuddebug: having a problem? Paste what it shows into a comment.
